Send 10 Diabetic Kids to Camp

Inspired by their son’s enjoyment of a weekend camp for children with Type 1 diabetes, Don and Diane Rung started Camp Angels to give other diabetic children that opportunity.

For the last decade, Camp Angels has enabled Type 1 diabetic children from financially challenged families to have an enjoyable, customized camp experience.

Every year, they receive amazing thank you letters from families. It is clear from these notes that the camp helps them set the worries aside and let their children just enjoy summer as a kid should:

“I have three amazing children. All three have Type 1 Diabetes, and between them live with another five acute and chronic illnesses. Every new diagnosis from the last five years brings its own worries, lifestyle changes and experiences…Camp Angels, what a perfect name for your organization. You are truly Angels in our lives. Thank you so much for helping us.” – Keri Turner

“I want you to know that the smile on my son’s face, the fun he has had and the lifetime of memories that are created that week are because of you and your generosity! I cannot thank you enough!!” – Sherry Howard

“At camp Midicha I felt like I belonged. I felt like all the other campers were my brothers and sisters…For the first time since my diagnosis, I didn’t have to explain my glucose meter or my injections. No one questioned why I needed snacks during the day or why I needed my blood sugar checked several times overnight. At camp I was able to be me.” – Kennadi

Vaccinate 13 Deserving Cats and Kittens: Completed March 27, 2015

75,400 daily clicks funded this project – thank you!

The Allen County SPCA (ACSPCA) has initiated a new and innovative plan to reduce the transmission of common viruses in the shelter environment. Upon intake, owner-surrendered cats at the ASCPCA are brought in for an initial examination before entry to shelter. After completion of paperwork, the cat receives a free vaccination and is sent back home with their owner. The feline is brought back to the shelter within 1-2 weeks, where they are officially surrendered and prepared for adoption. This initiative drastically reduces the chance of spreading shelter-borne illnesses. In turn, the shelter has healthy, adoptable cats and kittens ready to find their forever home.
